Napoleonic Wargame Club (NWC)

By a majority vote of the Cabinet (3:1), Marco Bijl was not reinstated as the Coalition CinC. This has no effect on his current standing as the Anglo-Allied Army Commander. The Cabinet post of Coalition CinC is currently vacant. Under our current Club Rules, and in accordance with the precedent set by the seated Cabinet members in July 2011, the Cabinet has the authority to appoint a new Coalition CinC to serve in this post until the proposed Club Rules have been adopted by the membership, and the Coalition officers elect a new Coalition CinC by their majority vote.

How we proceed from this point will be determined by the outcome of the current vote for the adoption of the proposed club rules, and any special election that may follow by the will of the membership to elect all leaders that had previously been appointed to their posts. As we are unsure at the present time of the outcome of the Club Rules vote, the Cabinet is currently discussing whether or not we wish to appoint a replacement for the Coalition CinC, such replacement remaining in effect until the proposed Club Rules are adopted, and a vote of the Coalition officers concluded.

As this post is informational in nature, I am locking it to prevent its message from being lost in a flurry of potential responses. I will update this thread when the Cabinet members conclude their current discussion.

The Cabinet unanimously agrees that the Cabinet position for the Coalition CinC shall stand open until an officer is elected to this position by the majority vote of the Coalition officers, assuming that the proposed Club Rules currently standing for vote are adpoted and that a 'Special Election' is called to fill this vacancy. Should the proposed club rules not be adopted, or a "Special Election" to fill this vacancy not take place immediately following the adoption of the proposed club rules, the Cabinet reserves the right to appoint a new Coalition CinC in accordance with the administrative precedent established by our predecessors.
